Independent
label: Bible News Ltd Records operated out
of premises at York House, Empire Way, Wembley. In 1977 it put out a boxed
set of recordings featuring stories from the 'Old Testament' treated as though
they were news events, with 'reports' from the scene and 'comments' from
'experts in the studio' packed into twenty fifteen-minute programmes in a
'Current Affairs' format. The set was available in cassette and LP
form. In order to promote it a 7" EP was made, which featured extracts
from the recordings and had a matrix / catalogue number of BNS-001. The
accents of the 'anchor man' and the various reporters and commentators are
English, so the set must have been a home-grown product. A further set,
'The Jesus Programmes', came out in the following year. Distributed By
